First round

Thursday, March 15, 2007

• at Buffalo:

• Midwest Regional:

• (4) Maryland 82, (13) Davidson 70

Davidson came alive in the second half with a 9-0 run, but Maryland was able to overcome this and win in the end.

• (5) Butler 57, (12) Old Dominion 46

Both teams played strong all game, yet Butler's 17-0 run allowed them to take over. Butler's aggressive ability to get to the free throw line for 16 shot opportunities also played a large role in preventing an upset in one of the school's first appearances as a higher seed.

• West Regional:

• (11) Virginia Commonwealth 79, (6) Duke 77

Despite being at a size disadvantage, Virginia Commonwealth's aggressive effort to secure possession and quick defense hassled Duke the entire game. Eric Maynor's 17-foot pull-up jumper just beyond the foul line with 1.8 seconds remaining allowed the Rams to pull off the first major upset of the 2007 tournament. It was the Blue Devils' first first-round NCAA tourney loss since 1996.

• (3) Pittsburgh 79, (14) Wright State 58

Wright State star Deshaun Wood was limited on his shooting by the Pitt defense, and the Pitt Panthers went on a big run midway through the first half to open up an early 13-0 lead, and they never looked back.

• at Winston-Salem:

• East Regional:

• (7) Boston College 84, (10) Texas Tech 75

The Tech loss was Bob Knight's second straight tournament loss (the previous loss coming in 2005 in the Sweet 16).

• (2) Georgetown 80, (15) Belmont 55

Erasing an early 11-4 deficit, the Hoyas advanced behind 20 points from sophomore Jesse Sapp and 15 from junior forward Jeff Green.

(MW1) Florida 84, (S1) Ohio State 75

The Gators became the first team ever to hold the NCAA Division I college football and basketball titles in both the same academic year (2006-07) and calendar year (2006 and 2007), surviving 25 points and 12 rebounds from Buckeyes center Greg Oden with stellar play from guards Lee Humphrey and Taurean Green with inside contributions coming from Al Horford (18 points) and tourney Most Outstanding Player Corey Brewer. Billy Donovan became the third-youngest coach (at age 41) to win two titles. Only Bob Knight (at Indiana) and San Francisco's Phil Woolpert both won two titles at the age of 40.

Florida also beat Ohio State (by a score of 41-14) in the NCAA Division I college football championship game, quite possibly the first time in college sports history that this has occurred.

Notes

• Only one of the 65 teams, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, was a first-time entrant into the tournament field. In fact, the university began offering Division I sports programs only eight years prior, in 1999. This year was also the school's first with a conference affiliation and their first reasonable chance of gaining a postseason berth of any sort, having not made the NIT field the previous two years despite 20-win seasons.
• Florida A&M became the first team to play in the opening round play-in game more than once. It defeated Lehigh in the 2004 game, then lost to Kentucky in the first round.
• Duke, coached by Mike Krzyzewski, was eliminated in a first-round game for the first time since 1996, ending its streak of nine straight visits to the Sweet Sixteen. Additionally, Krzyzewski and his mentor, Bob Knight (Texas Tech), were eliminated in the first round in the same tournament for the first time since 1996, when Knight was coach at Indiana.
• This was the first year since 1993 that a #10 seed has not advanced to the second round. It was also the first year since 2000 that a #12 seed failed to advance against a #5 seed, and it is only the second time in the last 17 years that this occurred.
• The Tennessee Volunteers scored 121 points against Long Beach State in their first-round game in the South Bracket. This was a first-round record and a school record.
• During the first- and second-round games in New Orleans, as part of the continuing recovery process from Hurricane Katrina, the NCAA allowed an additional floor decal recognizing the work of Habitat for Humanity's Collegiate Challenge program through the subregional's host institution, Tulane University. This marked the first time that a logo other than that of the NCAA or an NCAA member school has been allowed at a NCAA-sanctioned championship event. In addition, Tulane student athletes and athletic department personnel built a new house, valued at $75,000, which was paid for by the NCAA and their corporate partner Lowe's, on Girod Street between the New Orleans Arena, site of the games, and the Louisiana Superdome, which has hosted four Final Fours.^[8]
• This tournament marked the first time since 1995 that a double-digit seed did not advance to the Sweet 16. Midwest #7 UNLV was the lowest seed to reach the Sweet Sixteen.
• For the first time, custom-made courts were used in the regional semi-finals and finals.
• The seeds of the Elite Eight teams were 4 #1s, 3 #2s, and 1 #3. This was the lowest combination of seeds in an Elite 8 since seeding began in the NCAA Tournament.
• This was the 17th time UCLA had made the Final Four, the most in NCAA Tournament history. UCLA (11 championships) already holds the most in that category. Ohio State (1960), Georgetown (1984) and Florida (2006) have also won titles, marking the fourth time (joining 1993, 1995 and 1998) that all of the Final Four teams were past champions.
• With North Carolina's loss in the regional final, this marked the first time since the tournament field expanded to 64 teams that no ACC team made it to the Final Four for two consecutive years. The last time that no ACC team made it to the Final Four in consecutive years was in 1979 and 1980.
• The Florida-Ohio State matchup featured the same two schools as the 2007 BCS Championship Game, won by Florida, 41-14 in Glendale, Arizona twelve weeks earlier. (In addition, a second round matchup featured Southern California and Texas, the schools featured in the 2006 Rose Bowl, which featured the top two nationally ranked football teams for that year). Florida also hosted Ohio State (in basketball) earlier that season, defeating them 86-60. The basketball championship game gave Florida a 3-0 record against the Buckeyes in the two largest college sports for that time.
• All of the 2007 Final Four teams participated in the 2006 tournament. Ohio State was knocked out in the second round by Georgetown, which would lose to Florida in the regional semifinals. Florida would go on to defeat UCLA in the championship game.
• This was the first time in NCAA D-I men's basketball history that the exact same starting five were able to win back-to-back titles. (Joakim Noah, Corey Brewer, Lee Humphrey, Al Horford, Taurean Green)
• Florida's Lee Humphrey set the all-time NCAA Tournament record for three-point field goals made with 47. Humphrey surpassed Bobby Hurley's record of 42 during the National Semifinal game vs. UCLA.
